Disney-ABC Television has extended its licensing deal with video-streaming service Netflix (NFLX) and struck a new one with Amazon.com. Episodes from the new seasons of current Disney-ABC Series will be available on Netflix 30 days after they air. The deal includes previous season episodes of ABC Series “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Desperate Housewives” and “Private Practice,” among other TV shows from ABC, ABC Family and the Disney Channel. The extension is welcome news for Netflix, which has seen its stock price tumble after several business miscalculations. Separately, Amazon.com said it reached a new licensing agreement with Disney-ABC for much of the same content. Members of Amazon Prime, a loyalty program, will be able to stream previous seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy,” old episodes of “Lost” and other shows.

Activision, the largest game publisher, introduces its latest version on sale Nov. 8.

AT&T

LTE phones launch

AT&T plans to start selling its first handsets using a faster standard called long-term evolution on Nov. 6, a bid to catch up with larger rival Verizon Wireless. AT&T’s first LTE phones, both running Google’s (GOOG) Android software, will be the $200 Vivid from HTC and the $250 Galaxy S II Skyrocket from Samsung Electronics, according to a statement from the carrier Monday. To get those prices, customers need to sign up for two-year service agreements. The Dallas-based carrier said it is expanding its LTE service to Boston, Washington, Baltimore, and Athens, Ga., after starting it in five markets last month. AT&T plans to offer LTE in 15 cities by year-end.
